Local Authority Insight Series: Regeneration and the local authority estate
Lee Pickett and Rita Bange discuss the impact of Covid-19 on the law surrounding property of local authorities and the need for further regeneration of urban areas.
Austerity, local government reorganisation, climate change and Covid have all radically changed local authorities’ requirements for the property they own. At the same time, the need for more housing and the regeneration of town centres is more pressing than ever. Join Lee Pickett and Rita Bange as they discuss how local authorities can utilise their property and land estates to achieve these ends and what are the legal issues and barriers that they may encounter?
